Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pulls

A few weeks ago I shared my recipe for Cinnamon Roll Pulls, a sweet pull apart bread. In the post I mentioned a savory cheesy version. I had several requests for the cheesy bread recipe. Well, you asked for it, you got it!

I went with a cheddar bacon ranch bread. I knew these flavors would work well together since they are in my favorite dip, Crack Dip. The bread was unbelievable! My favorite part was the ranch butter that was poured over the loaf. Like the Cinnamon Roll Pulls, this bread is highly addictive. We will refer to this bread as "Crack Bread" from now on! Give it a try at your next gathering. I guarantee everyone will love it!

Using a sharp bread knife cut the bread going both directions. Do not cut through the bottom crust. Place slices of cheese in between cuts. Sprinkle bacon bits on bread, making sure to get in between cuts. Mix together butter and Ranch dressing mix. Pour over bread. Wrap in foil the entire loaf in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Unwrap. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

This version is like what I was familiar with. In our version we use melted butter and Colby Jack cheese with Sour Dough bread. From now on I am adding the bacon!!! Just had the cinnamon bread again this past weekend. It will be our Sunday breakfast for a good bit, at least, until they tell me to stop!

My, oh my. I've made both now and the hubs and son can't decide which one they like more. The son asked me to make pasta with the crack version so he could make a 'better' decision. Ha...I think he just wants more. Thanks so much for the great recipes.

I found this on pinterest and had everything but the bacon bits. I just bought some and it is in the oven now!! I forgot I was out of foil - so I hope it turns out just as good without being wrapped in foil!! Thanks for sharing! :)

i have a plan. i'm on a diet, but i have a very large husband, and 2 large teenage boys in the house. what i will do is make this when they haven't eaten all day. i'll bring it out, snatch a few crumbs for myself, and then get out of the way of the ravening hordes.

Delicious! Made this for our preseason football get together. I used turkey bacon and subbed butter for 1/4c can't believe it's not butter and 1/4c marg. Everyone LOVED this! I can't wait for the regular season!

Mercy..this is the best bread....sooo good.I made it, am doing a post about it, links back to you...and my friends ate my bread before I could get a nice photo. May I use one of yours, lined back to you?Thanks, O GREAT BREAD MAKER...,XO bj

I made this Saturday and every at the party LOVED it. Like BJ mine too was gone before I could get a picture of the beautiful creation. I blogged about it and linked it back to you. I will defiantly make this again it was AMAZING!!! I think next time I am going to try to make my own bread as well.

OK, I admit, I'm a novice in the kitchen. But this looked really easy and my family loves bacon and cheese. I made it tonight and it is really delicious! One thing I found out ...need to buy a sharper knife!

Just wanted to let you know that I tried this last night for our New Years Eve party and it was unbelievable! It was the first thing to get eaten up and that didn't take long! Came across your blog on Pinterest! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Oh. My. Goodness. This is absolutely delicious!! I did use shredded cheese and it worked perfectly-although a little messier than slices, I would imagine. Will definitely be trying different variations. I'm thinking maybe mozzarella and pepperoni with Italian seasoning...could even dip in pizza sauce.

just finished rendering down my bacon (didnt want to use fake bacon bits) and have just placed it in the oven. My mouth is watering already - cant wait to take it out - used shredded colby/chedder cheese looks great

Did you know the Today show featured your site for this recipe? I LIKE their site on my Facebook,and saw the pic, and said, "I know her" !! As if we were friends !! Well, I feel we are cyber friends since you help me with my delicious menu planning !! Congrats !!

Seriously amazing! I took this to a cookout Sunday night, and it was a huge hit! After everyone had picked the top from the bread, the hostess took the leftover piece, rewrapped the foil, and put it on the grill until the bottom got crunchy and the remaining cheese remelted. It was incredible! I am certain that I will be asked to take this to every party from now on :) Thanks for a great recipe!Cheers, Andrea

I originally found this site after seeing a pic of this on Facebook and then looking for the recipe. I'm joining and bookmarking this site for everything else, lol! This looks absolutely amazing, and I can't wait to try it!! So many of the recipes on here look so yummy, and easy to make (which I love with having 3 kids, lol), I can't wait to try the others!

I'm making this for a party and am wondering how it transports? It will be about 30-45 minutes from oven to eat. After taking off the foil and baking the last 10 minutes if I cover it back up will it get soggy? Has anyone tried this?

Looks great. I do one where I stuff the bread with swiss cheese & ham lunchmeat. Then mix yellow mustard with melted butter & some Beau Monde seasoning (Spice Island) and drizzle over the top. Bake until all melted. It’s a family, church & work favorite.

I've made this 4 or 5 times now, and once or twice we're used different seasonings and ingredients like blue cheese. No matter how I make it, everyone goes crazy for it. I once made two to try to feed everyone at a big family dinner, and everyone complained that they wanted more! lol

Thanks for posting this recipe. I love it, and I have yet to find a person who doesn't ask me for the recipe after eating it!!
